The project provides ample sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity to other areas of the community. Street trees every 30-feet abutting public rights-of-way (Medical Center Drive and 212th Street NE) will be provided along with a landscape hedge to screen headlight glare from the parking areas. These elements add to the pedestrian realm and provide a more pleasant experience.
